I would say the Touch is much more future-proof. The Touch firmware is

3. LMS on local server

They're saying the old platform will continue but for how long until
you'll be forced to move over to UE platform to continue enjoying the
experience?
Just a bunch of words with no real facts which you can interpret in many
ways.
Imagine LMS with only the Control Panel, no web UI, no plugins, no
player or library settings. That is the UE server. ;)
There are library settings, of course. You can choose your music folder.
